Kale and Swiss Chard on the Grill Recipe

by katerina on June 11, 2009

This may seem strange but anything that grows in my garden needs to be able to be eaten raw or cooked on the grill. It helps keeps life, and dishes, simple. This is because at the cabin we have no dishwasher and a teeny kitchen so we try and cook outside as much as possible. Plus in the city I have neither a garden nor a grill so I like to take advantage of both when I can.

After the fabulous heatwave my kale and swiss chard were rocking out and needing to get eaten. So I did a wee experiment. I washed them and then sprinkled them with a bit of salt, pepper and olive oil and wrapped them up into a foil package and grilled it alongside some corn and shrimp. The verdict? Excellent! I squeezed some lemon on top and it came out delicious. Some leaves were a little crispier like kale chips and others were more like steamed kale and swiss chard. Done and done.
